try this:-

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS");
Date date = new Date();
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(date));

or

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss");
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println(dateFormat.format(cal.getTime()));
